Who needs orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on aligning teeth and jaws. These dental issues can affect your oral health, comfort, and confidence. At our Chicago dental office, we can help address orthodontic issues like:Â
- Crooked or misaligned teeth
- Overcrowding or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Bite issues, like underbites, crossbites, open bites, etc.Â
Orthodontic problems often stem from poor genetics, habits, and jaw development. You may have inherited traits like crowded teeth, gaps, or a misaligned bite. Childhood habits such as thumb sucking, prolonged pacifier use, or mouth breathing can also affect how your teeth and jaws develop. Whatever the cause, orthodontic treatment can help correct these issues to improve your oral health.
Why is orthodontics important?
While many people seek orthodontics for aesthetics, orthodontics offers more than that. Here are the benefits of teeth straightening services in Chicago, Illinois.Â
- Improved oral hygiene: Well-aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss, reducing the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath.Â
- Renewed confidence: A Straighter, more attractive smile helps you feel like yourself again. Smile, laugh, and speak without holding back.Â
- Better functionality: A straighter smile improves your bite, allowing you to speak and eat more comfortably.Â
- Prevent long-term health issues: Misaligned teeth can cause premature dental wear and tooth loss. Orthodontic treatment resolves these issues before they progress.Â

What are the orthodontic treatments available?
Several orthodontic options are available, including traditional braces and clear aligners. A Brush Above Family Dentistry offers Invisalign, one of the most advanced clear aligner systems. Invisalign uses transparent, removable aligners to apply controlled pressure on teeth. The aligners move teeth incrementally, making a significant difference over time.Â
Here’s what makes Invisalign stand out:
- Discreetness: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible when worn, ensuring you straighten your smile without drawing unwanted attention. It’s perfect for professionals, adults, teens, and anyone who wants a discreet option.
- Comfortable experience: The customized, flexible plastic aligners provide a comfortable experience from start to finish.
- Removable convenience: Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are removable. Why does it matter? You can eat whatever you like and clean your teeth without limitations.
- Fewer dental visits: Life is busy, and the last thing you want is repeat orthodontic visits. Invisalign fits into your busy lifestyle. You only need to see us every 6-8 weeks to check your progress.Â
- Personalized treatment: Every smile is unique, and so is your treatment. Invisalign uses advanced imaging and planning technology to customize your treatment to your needs.Â
- Predictable outcomes: Thanks to Invisalign’s advanced planning software, you’ll know what to expect from your treatment, including how your smile will look.
